Was Jesus a real person?

by Coded Logic in

why didn't jesus ever write anything?

why are there no letters to jesus?

no painting of jesus from that time?

James Mixon

Historical researcher Michael Paulkovich , " Paul often credited with

spreading what would become Christianity, never refers to Jesus as

a real person. Paul is unaware of the virgin mother, and ignorant of

Jesus nativity, parentage, life events, ministry, miracles,apostles,betrayal,

trial and harrowing passion. Paul knows neither where nor when Jesus

lived, and considers the crucifixion metaphorical.

The silence from Jesus himself is telling with no personal account being

written. Yes the son of God ostensibly sent on a suicide mission to save

us from the childish notion "Adam Transgression" is a mythical super-savior.

We here have had our eyes open for others it may take some time.

Annie Dillard essay "Seeing".

She tells an anecdote of newly sighted patients, blind from birth, who had

cataract operations that restored their sight. Contrary to what you may expect--

that the experience of finally seeing after many years of blindness will be a

beautiful and almost ecstatic one---some of these patients find the "tremendous

size of the world" oppressing. It may take weeks, months, and even years to

adjust to the dramatic increase in stimuli; some even choose to "lose" or not

make use of their newly acquired sense.

For them, seeing is traumatic. What they see doesn't match what they had imagined.

What are Some of your best JW Questions they can't answer?

by 1tMakesNoSence in

i made a thread on reddit regarding questions jw's can't answer.

was wondering what you guys can add to it..

Crazyguy:those 15 books were inspired by Satan or Apostates. The Gospel

of Mary Magdalene, please. That would mean it's possible to have a female

GB member.

The governor: Also there are white blood cells in cow's milk. In the

dairy industry they closely monitor what the call Somatic cell count of

cows milk. SCC is a measurement of how many white blood cells are present

in the milk. All milk is going to have some white blood cells in it.

Could you ever really relax in a self-driving car?

by Simon in

i love science and technology and we are living in a golden age right now.

the world has changed in so many incredible ways just in the time i've been alive.. my first car was a vauxhall viva.

it was brilliant because it was my first car and represented freedom.

One of my brothers waited years before he purchased a Microwave,

he was waiting to see the reports on deaths of microwave users.

How much sediment would have been moved in Noah's flood?

by Zoos in

i flew over this crate yesterday on my return home from las vegas.. .

they say this crater was created by an asteroid about 50,000 years ago.

then about 6000 years ago, presumably, god wiped out all life on earth with a global flood.. how much sediment would have been moved around during that flood.

James Mixon

We typically expect a rainfall of only six inches per hour from a category Five

hurricane, to flood the earth in 40 days would require a rain fall six inches per

minute. If it came from below what about the noxious gases, such as sulfuric

acid, that would make their way into the atmosphere and cause the earth to

become uninhabitable.The heat generated by the impact of the rain drops on

the flood surface would have been more than sufficient to boil the water and

prevent it from rising.

Why did it take 40 years to travel less then 400 miles to enter the

promise land. Most JW's don't realize how far they had to travel.

Should I Shun My Dog?

by snugglebunny in

some background:josie the miniature schnauzer is now 12 years old, so she's old enough to know the difference between right and wrong.

however, she insists on peeing in the middle of my beautifully tended lawn, which, as a consequence, is now covered in brown patches.

i've remonstrated with her a number of times and each time she purports to show a diplay of repentance, that is, she slinks away on her belly with her ears flattened down tightly to her head.

Deu.23:18 The hire of a whore or the price of a dog both

are a abomination to God. That's your problem.

i mean pretty much all parents lie to their children at some point about something and usually it was to protect them or just wasn't something important and it normally doesn't affect the relationship between them and their child.

but how does a person reconcile and recover their appreciation for their parents after finding out almost everything they taught them was an evil lie?

i don't mean going back to the same relationship as i know that is gone, especially if the parents are still deceived.

James Mixon

How do you correct the lie? That's the problem, now when I tell my JW kids

it was all a lie, trust me a big fat lie, they tell me I'm lying just like

my father, Satan. Sometimes it's very difficult to correct a lie.

Be careful your dog may be of the Anointed, you can't be a repeating offender

if you are living by your own rules. Have a long talk with the little fellow and

find out if he have some Apostate thinking, if so you are in deep trouble, you

must show him the door.
